May 4, 2011

The whole story:
Since April 22nd we have been on a real roller coaster ride. We got a call about 3:30 on the 22nd of April just before leaving for Janna's wedding. We were told that due to Rich's little stay in the hospital and the fact that he is now on coumadin we would be re-assigned to someplace in the U.S. We were really upset with that and asked if there wasn't something that could be done to change that. The brother on the phone said he would check with his supervisor but he didn't think there was. We didn’t hear anything for the next few days so we called the missionary department the following Thursday. They said for sure we were being re-assigned. They said the paperwork had already been sent out.
We were devastated!!! But we were resolved to do whatever the Lord wanted us to do. We went to the temple the next day and came out still feeling like we should be going to Kenya.
Then about 3:30 we got a call from the missionary department and they said “You guys are popular people around here” and you ARE going to Kenya. It took me back a bit but my spirit just jumped.
So we are launched ahead on our preparations to leave on May 16th for the MTC.
